Re: [FWDLK] Parts Vendors (again)

["Roger Howard" <rhoward@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To Lars,
     Dave Stromberg lives in SW WA. but keeps his cars near Bend. OR.  He
has (or did have) quite a few...His business name is Fat Fendered Relics.
I once entered into an unfortunately vague agreement to buy a parts car from
him.  It was everything he said (he showed me pictures), so I agree he is an
honest man.   He also advertises trim restoration...not many people willing
to tackle that.
     Neil Riddle  (Mr Plymouth) is in my local chapter of the WPC Club.
Since I am more interested in the finned beauties, I really havent ever even
spoke to him, but he has been in business many years and is well liked in
our club.
     Jim Harris is also in our club. He travels nationwide with his wife,
selling and buying mostly memorabilia. He is the anchor for our club, as he
is such a character.  Completely self-effacing and always ready with a
humorous story....
      that is my two cents   Roger (57 and 59 Ply)
